Tim Tebow through the years

Tebow's days as a starting quarterback appear over, but his experience with read-option concepts couldn't come at a better time. While it's plausible Tebow's next gig comes up north in Canada -- or at a CVS near you -- forging an NFL career as a fullback/tight end/X-factor isn't out of the question.

San Diego Chargers: The link here is coach Mike McCoy, who squeezed every gift out of Tebow back in 2011 as offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos. Philip Rivers is cemented under center, but McCoy is a highly innovative thinker who's proven he can make the most of Tebow's skill set.

Oakland Raiders: Coach Dennis Allen witnessed Tebow's theatrics firsthand in Denver, and the Raiders need every weapon they can find on offense. Why not bring him in to compete?

Cleveland Browns: It's a long way from sunny Florida, but coach Rob Chudzinski ran an option-fueled offense with the Carolina Panthers; none of Cleveland's current quarterbacks bring that flavor. The Browns didn't add a passer in the 2013 NFL Draft and appear married to the idea of giving Brandon Weeden another chance this season, but Tebow would give this young team some flexibility.
